Predecessor and Successor

Predecessor

  • Method 1- Number that comes before a particular number
  • Method 2-The predecessor of a number is one less than the given number.

Example: 

Find predecessor of 23,057

  • According to method 1

A number before 23,057 is 23,056.

Therefore 23,056 is the predecessor of 23,057

  • According to method 2

We can say a number less than 23,057

i.e. 23,057-1 =23,056;

23,056 is the predecessor of 23,057

Successor

  • Method 1- Number that comes after a particular number
  • Method 2-The successor of a number is one more than the given number.

Example: 

Find successor of 23,057

  • According to method 1

A number after 23,057 is 23,058.

Therefore 23,058 is the successor of 23,057

  • According to method 2

We can say a number more than 23,057 i.e.

23,057+1 =23,058;

 23,058 is the successor of 23,057
